It is intriguing that a good fit [to the probability that a paper is cited at least $k$ times, $C(k)$] over much of the range of the distribution is the log-normal form $C(k) = A\exp\{–b\ln k – c(\ln k)^2\}$. Log-normal forms typically underlie random multiplicative processes. They describe, for example, the distribution of fragment sizes that remain after a rock has been hammered many times. — Citation Statistics from 110 Years of Physical Review, Sid Redner, Physics Today 58 (June 2005) p. 49.

So that's how God created men in his image. Not by shaping a ball of mud, but by hammering a rock.
